[SOLVED] KDE Window Snapping

On some applications and certain pages on my web browser, when I snap the window to the left or right of my screen the content inside the window doesn't adjust to the size, the window itself just shrinks all the other material that doesn't fit that size just disappears. There are side scrolling options for some pages on the web browser and some applications but generally there isn't. Been trying to look through system preferences to fix this issue but can't seem to find any solution. Please help, thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE Window Snapping

Unlikely to have anything to do with KDE, the relevant window is responsible for resizing it's content, what "specific websites" and which browser are you talking about? Does it work if you manually resize? You might want to post a link to a screenshot of what you are seeing. If this really has a relation to KDE what output do you get for

qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation

post that in [ code ] tags

Re: [SOLVED] KDE Window Snapping

I'm using Firefox, the sites that resize just fine for example is the arch forum, sites that don't resize well are google, and slack resizes just fine up to a certain size when I manually resize.

$ qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation

Re: [SOLVED] KDE Window Snapping

I've determined that it has nothing to do with KDE but more so my laptops screen resolution.
